Youth Congress leader hacked to death in Kerala, CPM activists detained

March 15, 2016

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 15: Early this morning, Sunil Kumar, 28, a leader of the Youth Congress, was hacked to death in Alappuzha, 160 kms from the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram. Mr Kumar was attacked with knives in his own home, said the police, which has detained four supporters of the CPM.

Ahead of the elections that are to be held on May 16 in Kerala, one BJP activist has been killed in the last two months and four activists, from the CPM as well as the BJP, have been attacked.

Sources said that Mr Kumar, who was murdered this morning, had recently switched sides from the CPM to the Congress, and that earlier this week, he had allegedly attacked two Left student activists. His killing was allegedly in revenge for that assault.

Over a week ago, an RSS worker named AV Biju was attacked with knives while he was driving young students to school in his auto in Kannur. Five CPM workers have been named by the police as the accused.

Last month, RSS activist Sujith was hacked to death in his home in Kannur in the presence of his parents, who were injured when they tried to stop the assault. Eight CPM supporters were arrested in connection with the killing.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
